The Gramps and Supergramps builds have been an epic journey, one that now feels a bit more finished as the car is painted, looks mad, drives well and is an awesome all rounder daily.

Some modifications take much more skill than others, and while it is important to push yourself so that you learn – it’s also important to understand that the second you take your machine.. - Read More

In Episode 5 of the Gramps Build, MOOG asked Turbo Yoda if a variety of parts would fit on his honda... (at 24m12s) As the internet sometimes does, it soon became a meme..
